Romans 10:16-21 ▼

16 But not everyone has obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah asks, |Lord, who has believed our message?|

17 Consequently, faith results from listening, and listening results through the word of the Messiah.

18 But I ask, |Didn't they hear?| Certainly they did! In fact, |Their voice has gone out into the whole world, and their words to the ends of the earth.|

19 Again I ask, |Did Israel not understand?| Moses was the first to say, |I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that doesn't understand.|

20 And Isaiah boldly says, |I was found by those who were not looking for me; I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.|

21 But about Israel he says, |All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.|
